Chapter 356 - Boros and Sphynx

“Squeak Squeak!”

A cry suddenly sounded from the calm swamp. It sounded a little like the cry of a monkey.

However, there were no living things on the swamp. Other than the ripples formed by the small boat’s rapid advance, there was nothing around it.

The moment the people on the boat heard the cry, their faces instantly turned deathly pale, as if they had recalled something extremely terrifying.

“Boros, hurry up, it’s chasing after us.” The golden-haired old man from before stood at the stern of the ship, his gaze fixated on the swamp behind them as he urged with all his might.

As for the middle-aged man who was driving the small ship, his face was deathly pale, without a trace of blood. He looked just like a vampire who had not seen the sun for a long time.

However, the vampire had a panicked expression on his face now. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and down his cheeks bit by bit, wetting his graceful and luxurious clothes.

However, he seemed to be unaware of this. His turbid eyes stared at the Black Forest in front of him.

His intuition told him that there was something dangerous hidden in the Black Forest, but it was better than the thing chasing after them.

“Shut up, Spicer! I’m already trying my best. If you have time to talk, why don’t you keep an eye on that guy and see where he will appear from?”

“I’ll keep looking, but who knows where that thing will come from? If we could see where that thing came from, we wouldn’t be in this state.”The golden-haired old man’s name was Spicer, he was a trial-taker who had just entered the second level of the endless tower.

The other pale man who was driving the small boat was called Harris, and he was also a newcomer.

Although he was a newcomer, they had arrived at the second level of the endless tower much longer than Jerry and the others. However, when Jerry came up, he had brought over 20 tier 3 King of the Gods with him, these two had chosen to come to the second level of the endless tower before consolidating their strength after passing through the maze on the first level of the endless tower.

The two of them had only broken through to the third-stage divine king realm on the second level of the endless tower. The two trial-takers had also broken through to the tier 3 King of the Gods realm just like that. It was enough to show how powerful their subordinates were, the strongest among them had just broken through to the peak of the tier 2 King of the GOds Realm.

However, although they were not very strong, they were able to survive on the second level of the endless tower for so long because of their own abilities. They were able to survive in the maze of the endless tower.

One of the most important reasons was the water-blue bead in the hand of one of their followers. The other was the small boat they were currently in.

The water-blue bead could be said to be Spicer’s most precious treasure. Whether it was during the Empire’s era or later in the first level of the endless tower, it had saved him many times. He had also spent countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine it painstakingly, it was a divine artifact that was linked to his life.

The water-blue pearl could not only defend against a tier 3 King of the Gods’ attack, but it could also isolate the miasma in the ghost swamp. It could be said that although Spicer was not strong enough, he still had the confidence to bring his subordinates into the ghost swamp.

The other important item was the wooden boat beneath their feet. Although it looked simple, it was not ordinary. This wooden boat was an opportunity that Boros had obtained during the Empire Era.

At that time, Boros had found this wooden boat in an ancient battlefield. However, the wooden boat at that time was not as it was now. At that time, there was only one skeleton left, and it was charred black.

Originally, Boros did not care about the charred wooden boat. However, he later discovered that even if he tried his best, he was unable to cause even the slightest harm to the skeleton that had been charred.

He immediately noticed the difference in the frame. Hence, he used the frame as a foundation to build this wooden ship.

The attack power of this wooden ship might not be very strong, but its defense could be said to be terrifying. Back when he was still a tier 2 King of the Gods.

In the maze on the first floor of the endless tower, he relied on this wooden ship to escape from the pursuit of a tier 3 King of the Gods monster. Of course, after that attack, other than the original ship-shaped frame, the rest of the wooden ship had been reduced to fragments.

Now, this wooden boat was reforged from the most precious wood that Boros had found. Although he was only at the early-stage of the tier 3 King of the Gods realm, once he activated it at full power, this wooden boat might not be able to withstand a single blow from a Tier 4 King of the Gods yet, but it would be able to withstand an attack from a peak-stage tier 3 King of the Gods .

Of course, it was estimated that the wooden boat would become useless again after withstanding a few attacks. However, as long as there were no problems with the foundation of the wooden boat, which was the original ship-shaped skeleton from the ancient battlefield, then, an even more powerful wooden ship could be created.

Moreover, apart from the strong defense, the flying speed of this wooden ship could not be underestimated.

It could be said that the reason why Boris was able to successfully pass through the maze on the first floor of the endless tower was because of this seemingly simple wooden ship.

Therefore, the two rookies each held the water-blue pearl that could isolate the miasma and a wooden ship that could move swiftly on the swamp with extremely strong defense. The two of them clicked immediately.

After forming a team, the two of them would be able to swim freely in the ghost swamp. It was also because of this that the two did not have to worry about the trial field mission that was once every seven days like the other rookies.

All along, they had also been exploring the ghost swamp.

It could be said that they were quite familiar with the ghost swamp. They also knew which places they could not go and which things they could not do.

This allowed them to be like fish in water in the spirit swamp. The only pity was that the special circumstances of the spirit swamp did not allow them to increase their strength at all.

There were powerful swamp creatures guarding the things that could not increase their strength. With their strength, they would be courting death if they went over.

However, they did not expect to obtain anything in the spirit swamp. After all, before their strength increased, it would be enough to survive on the second floor of the endless tower. When their strebftg now, the ghost swamp would be even less of a danger to them.

By then, won’t everything be theirs to take?

Therefore, every time they went to the maze, they would stay in the ghost swamp for a certain amount of time. When the time was up, they would immediately leave.

Their current focus was to increase their own strength. But who knew that an accident would happen during this trip to the ghost swamp?
